    Post is the only one going with three-shooter angle.

    Glad you're safe, Sonner, knew you were somewhere around there. I see the Nats are home tonight, thankfully this happened long before people started filing into the park.
     
  4. WAPO now revising it to two possible shooters, with one down.

    Thanks, man. I walked outside to check my phone messages and could hear all the sirens. Sounds like a madhouse over there. At one point, they closed the 11th St Bridge, parts of M St, and stopped all outgoing flights from National. Several area schools on lockdown as well.

    If we learned anything from Marathon Bombing it is to not pay
    attention to early reports which proved faulty.

    CNN field guy has probably said 50 times that it is a "fluid' situation. This guy is working your side of the street, Boom.

    And as always before heading to the airport call ahead to your airline to check for
    possible delays.

    Two shooters down. Navy spokesman won't say if that means dead.

    Pete Williams MSNBC: One gunman. Man in his 50's. Has a "connection" to the Navy Yard.
